Howzit goin! 1st post...from huntsville, AL. I recently purchased a 1970 chevy c-10 truck. 3 spd trans, 307 V-8, stock exhaust and 2bbl rochester carb.
This sucker runs pretty well (i'm knocking on wood right now) after repairing the vacuum leak, but the problem is that after driving 15-25 miles or so, and if you take the oil filler cap off of the valve cover theres PLENTY of white smoke in there. And same thing on the other side after removing the pcv valve. Whats causing that, and is this something a head rebuild job will take care of(including cleaning out oil ports or passages) and replacing cam and lifters? Or is there something more serious going on down there? id like to get this fixed on a budget.
The valve train is relatively quiet, The oil pressure seems to be good and have not checked cylinder pressure yet. Thanks, Dane
